Traditional Chinese Medicine

Article reads: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is medical beliefs and practices often used widely across eastern Asia, but introduced to western medical practices as an alternative look to treat physical conditions. Many doctors across the United States are beginning to take a closer look at this, which includes herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy and massage.

…..Health or medical practices are called alternative if they are based on untested untraditional or unscientific principles methods treatments or knowledge. Because truly alternative medical practices would be ones that are known to be equally or nearly equally effective most alternative medical practices are not truly alternative. Thus the fact that they are cheaper is of little significance……AHC is often sanctioned by state governments which license and regulate alternative practices and even protect alternative practitioners from attacks by the medical establishment.
